// Package glog implements logging analogous to the Google-internal C++ INFO/ERROR/V setup.
// It provides functions Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, plus formatting variants such as
// Infof. It also provides V-style logging controlled by the -v and -vmodule=file=2 flags.
//
// Basic examples:
//
//	glog.Info("Prepare to repel boarders")
//
//	glog.Fatalf("Initialization failed: %s", err)
//
// See the documentation for the V function for an explanation of these examples:
//
//	if glog.V(2) {
//		glog.Info("Starting transaction...")
//	}
//
//	glog.V(2).Infoln("Processed", nItems, "elements")
//
// Log output is buffered and written periodically using Flush. Programs
// should call Flush before exiting to guarantee all log output is written.
//
// By default, all log statements write to files in a temporary directory.
// This package provides several flags that modify this behavior.
// As a result, flag.Parse must be called before any logging is done.
//
//	-logtostderr=false
//		Logs are written to standard error instead of to files.
//	-alsologtostderr=false
//		Logs are written to standard error as well as to files.
//	-stderrthreshold=ERROR
//		Log events at or above this severity are logged to standard
//		error as well as to files.
//	-log_dir=""
//		Log files will be written to this directory instead of the
//		default temporary directory.
//
//	Other flags provide aids to debugging.
//
//	-log_backtrace_at=""
//		When set to a file and line number holding a logging statement,
//		such as
//			-log_backtrace_at=gopherflakes.go:234
//		a stack trace will be written to the Info log whenever execution
//		hits that statement. (Unlike with -vmodule, the ".go" must be
//		present.)
//	-v=0
//		Enable V-leveled logging at the specified level.
//	-vmodule=""
//		The syntax of the argument is a comma-separated list of pattern=N,
//		where pattern is a literal file name (minus the ".go" suffix) or
//		"glob" pattern and N is a V level. For instance,
//			-vmodule=gopher*=3
//		sets the V level to 3 in all Go files whose names begin "gopher".
